Was I hot then cold
Did I force you into my mold
Did I pull you into me
Did I pull you selfishly
So Sing once more
Your voice cuts deep to the core
Your words they betray me
Your words they torment me
I can't turn away
What we built should have stayed
And I can’t speak
Did I force you to promise me something you couldn't keep
I can’t sleep
Did I want you to promise me something you couldn’t keep
Love gets lost
Mere words can’t explain the cost
of losing myself to this
of losing you to all of this
Why can’t we let go
Let sorrow take control
And I can’t speak
Did I force you to promise me something you couldn't keep
I can’t sleep
Did you want me to promise you something I couldn’t keep
I can feel you and you feel me too
we’re not far apart
But we’re far apart
I can't turn away
What we built should have stayed
Why can’t we let go
Let sorrow take control
And I can’t speak
Did I force you to promise me something you couldn't keep
I can’t sleep
Did you want me to promise you something I couldn’t keep
We both made promises we knew that we couldn’t keep
